EVERYONE IN THE US loves the new SL at first sight. Gary the graffiti artist in his ramshackle caravan perched on a hill near Desert Shores. The tanned retiree at the wheel of a bleached black S55. The poker-faced valet who made the $10 tip disappear like a seasoned casino croupier. The young surfer dude and his two nymphettes in San Clemente. The highway trooper who flagged us down at 55 in a 55mph zone just because she could. We also got loads of thumbs-up from hikers and bikers of all ages, the homeless Trumpists at Bombay Beach, and Sean the uniformed immigration officer from El Centro near the Mexican border who knew full well that the gleaming steel blue roadster was not Checo and Conchita's Trojan horse to the promised land.
